A colleague was chatting with one of his candidates yesterday. This individual has been unemployed for a few months after falling victim to layoffs brought on by the fall of the sub-prime mortgage industry. He somehow met up with a representative of an executive placement firm and was told they could rework his resume and guarantee him a new job in a matter of weeks! The fee for this was $6000, before any services were provided!! Needless to say, well over a month has passed and the revised resume is still in the works and no legitimate interviews have been scheduled.
Please do not throw your money into the shredder like this person did. Hiring a job coach or resume writer is one thing but paying such a large sum of money is not a great idea. No one can guarantee you a new job no matter what they claim and rewriting your resume should certainly not take over a month to complete.
If you are in need of such assistance please write to me at hblevin58@gmail.com.
